Incredibly thankful for a perfect mother/daughter event for @miraclegirlsgo @sukha.yoga We practiced yoga, we painted rocks for a meaningful momentum to take home. Making new friends, creating art, bonding with each other and moving our bodies and a way that empowers us. It was incredible. Thank you to all who came. For those of you wishing you would have come, know that I will be teaching a special yoga for tweens and teens class series at Sukha in Novato coming up soon.

Our favourite set up for an intimate Yoga Nidra session. Yesterday everyone had their one candle in front of them, which we used as a meditation/focus technique. It was a beautiful session, with a serene focus. ✨

Sukha Yoga - Saturday - Nov. 17th - 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Sound & Manifestation
Sound is a powerful amplifier of our intention.
Anything that you put your focus and attention on can be quickly moved forward in its creation through sound, especially since sound is known as part of the creational source of matter.
As I play my instruments, our brains will naturally begin to entrain with the repetitive qualities of the sound, bringing us to deep brainwave states, like alpha, theta, and even delta.
When we mediate with sound, our conscious thoughts, wishes, goals and desires are deeply impressed in the subconscious, which is responsible for all creations and manifestations.
Come play with your manifestations and soak up the soundwaves in bliss!

Let me know if you have any questions!! I've been loving ALL my classes lately. In Vinyasa classes we've been discussing the Yamas and it's been an awesome group conversation -- along with upping our inversion practice. In beginner classes we break down foundational alignment and get a feel for our own individual practice. In Restorative we chill so hard!!! And if you haven't tried Aerial yet - it is sooo much fun!! There's something for everybody here 🤗 Hope to see you at the studio this week!! #lovemyjob#practicewithme#sukhayoga#novatoyoga

One of my favorites when traveling is the opportunity to visit a local yoga studio. Today’s pit stop? Sukha yoga in East Austin. The sweet vibe and thoughtful class was the perfect way to wrap up race weekend. ‘Til next time! 🏁
@sukhayogaaustin @karlieyoga 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Over the past few years I have made a massive shift in the way I view and treat my body - learned societal pressures had me hating my extra lovable thighs from too young an age, and I remember resolving as a teen that I just “didn’t have a pretty face”. Since self love and care weren’t taught in health class I carried these underlying self identifications with me to college, through my first relationships, and into my yoga practice. When I finally turned my intuitive eye towards my self at 28, I realized how poorly I had been treating my soul self and my body self, and didn’t so much decide a shift needed to be made as I fell straight into Reiki treatments from my sweet friend Dani. With my own chosen intentions to let what was not serving me melt away, I was able to create space for the changes I wanted in life - more self appreciation, stronger boundaries for my own energy, and ultimately deep gratitude for the fact that I get to be here and live this life in this body. I am not a perfect being, but I’m so blessed to be here.
This Sunday 10/28 5-7 p.m. I am hosting a workshop at Sukha Yoga Healing Heart: Yin Yoga and Reiki, 2 hours of deep Yin yoga introspection specially dedicated to the heart center (working space into the hands, arms, shoulders and chest) with Reiki assists. Reiki is soft and subtle, and if you are open to receive can guide you into a deep relaxed state, help you sleep well, and aid in releasing any deep attachments in life that you recognize do not serve you. Please reach out if you are curious and have questions!

“Don’t over think it ... if you get lost, just hum.” Life advice ... mantra advice, all around good advice. Om Namah Shivaya 💕💕💕💕 The practice of listening in and surrendering to insight and truth! #trustyourgut
Each @sukhayogaaustin will challenge you to see yourself in new ways with fresh eyes and an open heart!
Come cozy up today on the mat...
✨Hot Tea served ✨ 2 Warm Studios to flow and breathe ✨Full Hearts and good friends SCHEDULE Posted in our IG stories

ABOUT LAST NIGHT.... feeling grateful for the high energy that was invoked by Jai and Cocreated with everyone. #Repost @jaiuttal ・・・
What a gentle and sweet time we had singing kirtan at Sukha Yoga in Novato last night. I’m so glad that I still get to sing at small and intimate yoga studio gatherings. Singing and playing with me were @benleinbach and @lucialilikoimusic Both beautiful musicians and souls. Thankyou!!!!!!!

And a quote from the Devi Bhagavatam, translated by Ramesh Menon: “Danger and calamity are the roots of the happiness of all beings, even the Devas and Devis! For, without knowing the anguish of separation, how will the living know the joy of union and, indeed, the true nature of happiness itself?”

Offering up a dreamy workshop two Sundays from today on 10/28 💗 Healing Heart: Yin Yoga and Reiki 💗 if you register today (@sukhayogavt website!) you can still pay the early bird price of $20 ✨ 2 hours just for you to create space in your physical body, and soften deeply into your Self. If you are curious about reiki and have questions please reach out! I love sharing my experience with this energy shifting, healing practice ✋✨🤚

At the heart of Sukha is the desire to connect to our most basic humanity, the one we all share, including hopes, fears, dreams, joys, disappointments, and all the seeming ordinary moments in between. Our everyday lives are ushered into enlightenment when we practice paying attention with openness. Sukha was born so we can share the journey in together and then back out into the world!
Join us on the path, we are here to support and celebrate you along the way ♥️

"Do your practice and all is coming" is a famous quote coined by K. Pattabhi Jois, the founder of #ashtangayoga . When I first heard this quote, I understood it to mean that if I am diligent in my daily yoga practice, I will receive the benefits and find peace, calm and more happiness in my life. While I have found these things in my yoga practice, I've since learned there is a little more to the story. Last year when @mskleigh was guest teaching at Sukha, she explained that do your practice and all is coming, really means All is coming. All includes pain, suffering, and fear along with the things we think of as "positive".

I was recently in Brazil on my annual pilgrimage to visit the healer, #johnofgod . In past years it has been mostly a blissful and expansive experience for me. This year it was a little more, "Dark Night of the Soul". I found myself diving into the depths of despair, fear and suffering while being stripped of the usual ego defenses of blame, projection and distraction that keep these shadow feelings at bay. The only thing left to do was to surrender fully and trust that I would be held and shown the light.
~
I see a similar process happening in the collective. Enough people are "doing their practice" and starting to wake up. People are standing up and sharing their pain and exposing the dark secrets in our culture. The systems of patriarchy and white supremacy are starting to crumble. The process is not pretty and there is a lot of pain, but I know that the only way we get to the light is to expose the dark.
~
Doing this kind of shadow work often feels like a solitary process. It is my hope that Sukha Yoga can be a place of support and connection for all of us to - "do our practice and know all is coming." #sukhayoga#sukhayoganovato#sukhayogacommunity#yoganovato#yogamarin
